Netball Success for our 10’s and 11’s

On Tuesday 27th September our Year 10 and 11 Netball teams continued to add to their track record of success. Playing at the Nuneaton Schools Tournament in the terrible weather conditions they showed the true spirit of Etone as they persevered and did amazing as a result.

To start with the Year 11 girls got through to the runner up place with an astonishing team effort from players who have not had lots of chances to practice in recent years: Paige M, Grace B, Amelia H, Dylan G, Celestina J, Tiana D, Megan. Well done to you all.

Next, our Year 10 were out to impress as they came 2nd out of 13 teams 👏🏻.

A truly incredible achievement considering most of the teams were made up of Year 11 pupils. Whilst there was one defeat which took us away from the top spot the achievement is no less important.

Well done to: Sophie N, Roksana A, Kc H, Delia M, Mara J, Lauren B, Jamie L, and Izzie M. 

With performances like these, it is always enjoyable to share the success we have at Etone with you all. We look forward to bringing the trophy home next year.

Finally a huge thank you to Mrs Price who coached and umpired games…. even in her heels 👍🏻

The range includes dyslexia friendly titles, quick reads, graphic novels and both fact and fiction. Here’s a strange but true fact!

GCSE Results 2022

This year has been a year like no other in education. For our Year 11 pupils they have shown themselves to be truly inspiring in the way they have dealt with the disruptions of the last few years.

Going through the first exam results for three years we have been overjoyed with the achievements of our pupils. Despite the challenges they have faced each of them have put in the hard work and their efforts have been rewarded.

We would like to wish our Year 11 pupils the best of luck in their future steps and share how excited we are for our Year 11’s continuing their journey at our Sixth Form, whilst welcoming those who are joining us for the first time.
